KC was running pretty much all day today. (I wasn’t at the park open to close, but the 4-5 hours I was there it was running)

100% this! First cycle I went on it was lacklustre. It definitely didn’t go full height and the brakes/magnets were engaging as it went past the middle, so it was fairly slow. Second cycle however… WOW! They’ve nailed it with ride choice. Absolutely improved every aspect of The Claw. Got another 2 cycles in by the end of the day… Props to DW ops too! Silky smooth boarding for the first public soft open.

In case no one has seen the last 2 posts… KC is open to public today! First ride coming in 5 mins

Agreed. Regardless of the direction of travel, it will have a shitty section between JR and TI where it is colorbond overload. They desperately need any kind of theming there. It’s actually not too bad around the back of Jane’s where they’ve kept all that fake rock work.

No, not quite… Don’t get caught up in the media spin. Firstly, it was a research lab for uni students, not a Koala Hospital. And DW didn’t just spend the money elsewhere. COVID hit, the park shut, the lab project on hold. DW asked if they could use the $2M elsewhere amongst more funding (for other obvious reasons), the Government said yes.

Country Fair theming. After school holidays they’ll have the king claw fencing back again

Dreamworld has sent out a survey to all passholders. Whilst this is not surprising or anything new, it does give an insight into some of the new things DW Management have been discussing behind closed doors… I get not all of it will come to light, but they’re floating some pretty neat ideas! E.g… Collectable Pin program Earning points/credit program Bringing back Bring-a-friend discounts Big Birthday gifts or several smaller prizes Freebies for passholders Bringing back plastic cards / exclusive lanyards

I think he’s the one that steered into the ice berg…

Oh a Parkz comment hasn’t made me giggle like this in a long time 😂 Here’s confirmation DW read Parkz comments… taken directly from my own comment

I feel like MW’s only chance of selling it is if the buyer has never ridden it before

Ok seeing as you’ve changed your comment… Where is the video publicly available due to being used as evidence? What was shared is a dodgy copy from a TikTok that someone had removed. It’s not the evidence that was submitted in court. Regardless, based on your opinion, so long as a video is publicly available, and it’s of a mistake someone has made, then it’s fair game to be reshared across any internet forum… right? Yeah maybe it was too extreme of an example, but the point still stands… He said free speech is amazing. He wanted to share it, so he did. So… That’s saying because “free speech” anyone is free to share whatever they want, so long as they want to share it. If you don’t like it, don’t click it. But back to my question in that comment which has gone unanswered… where do you draw the line?

Pretty simple if you actually read what I wrote. The internet is increasingly becoming a shitty place full of bullying and hate because of people who easily and thoughtlessly reshare content without a care in the world. It is these actions and blasé attitude to these actions which leads to people (typically younger people) becoming significantly depressed and hurt, and ultimately (and increasingly) ending their own life. It’s one of many examples I could put forth about how it’s not okay to just reshare anything on the internet because “free speech is amazing”. The point I’m trying to make is, it doesn’t matter if the person is at fault or not, you can’t just share anything you want on the internet because “free speech is amazing” and “he wanted to share something” so “he did”.

maybe learn what free speech is mate. It’s not freedom to do whatever you want. It’s freedom to express your own opinion, values or beliefs. Regardless… So what you’re saying if that was a video of a young girl being r*ped, there’s no need to worry about anyone resharing that… because “free speech is amazing”? or maybe, a baby being brutally attacked by a dog? plenty of examples… but where do you draw the line? Or, is it a free for all because you know… “free speech” and all 🙄

The story of the incident and aftermath should serve as a warning. If you can so easily and thoughtlessly share content like this… or be so blasé about people who reshare content like this… then it’s no wonder the internet is such a growing cesspool of hate and bullying. Actions like this is why the internet can be such a shitty place… and why you hear so much of kids necking themselves these days.

Not trying to be an internet police. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to share. Serves no value to anyone. What if that were you in the video? Or, what if it were your mum, daughter, sister, aunty, cousin?
